The Calgary Fiddlers Association is currently seeking classically trained violin students who are interested in learning to fiddle as a supplementary activity to their classical studies.
Are you 13-16 years of age and interested in joining the internationally renowned Calgary Fiddlers? Contact Nola Baillargeon at nolana@calgaryfiddlers.com.
The Calgary Fiddlers is our premier fiddle ensemble that performs at over 100 functions in and around the Calgary area each year, in addition to touring throughout Canada, the US and Internationally. Auditions are competitive and limited spaces are available each fall. As in the Bow Valley program, private coaching and weekly group rehearsals are enriched with workshops by guest clinicians throughout the year. A strong emphasis on performing, public speaking and advanced musicianship gives this group of students between the ages of 12 and 18 a semi-professional status in the music community.
Are you 7-17 years old and interested in learning to fiddle and performance opportunities around Calgary and surrounding areas? Contact the Bow Valley Fiddlers artistic director, Donna Turk, at dturk@bowvalleyfiddlers.com.
The Bow Valley Fiddlers is an educational program where students between the ages of 7 and 18 years old learn various styles of fiddling and are given the opportunity to perform in the community. Private coaching and weekly group rehearsals are enriched with workshops by guest clinicians throughout the year. At least 2 years of previous experience in playing the violin is a prerequisite. All students must continue taking private classical violin lessons to be enrolled in this program.
Auditions will take place in May and June for both the Bow Valley Fiddlers and the Calgary Fiddlers. Please visit www.CalgaryFiddlers.com to find out more.
